Agreed. The form factor is right. AR technology will only reach the possibility of mass adoption when it can fit in/on the existing eye-glasses form factor.

This is still news worthy, but not "Front page" news worthy. Back in the newspaper days this would be sent to the back of the paper.
I'm with you. Knowing the general dislike of them, they've always been a guilty pleasure.
I was thinking the same thing!
I got the sense he meant more that it would go up through business-side committees to double check the work and make sure it wasn't inappropriate. If that was the case that again would be an indication of corporations being risk adverse.
I listened to much of the interview on the radio. He touched on a lot of good points and then came to the absolutely wrong conclusion. He talked about how many writing rooms are "writing by committee" where jokes will go through a review by many different groups. If this is truly the case (I don't know) that is not an issue if the "far left mob" but rather the enshitification of comedy due to corporations and Wall Street bankrolling these productions wanting to ensure return on investment. This kills creativity by reducing risks. Topical comedy is a risky medium by default.
Also, shout out to Rob McElhenney for his sarcastic one word response. In Jerry's imagined world, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia can't exist.
Jesse Plemons character in one of the Fargo seasons did this.
I'm struggling to think of any legitimate use cases that actually benefit society. I can only think of nefarious uses for this technology.
I know Hollywood is interested in it for maintaining the legacy of iconic voices in established IPs like James Earl Jones in Star Wars, but I don't think that benefits society overall. It is neat to potentially have his voice show up in future projects, but that feels like more of a gimmick to justify the technology rather than an actual need.
I agree with you. Every time I see someone mention progressive or liberal on here it's always referring to them in a right-leaning context. Seems like an effort to destabilize the meaning of a word to cause confusion.
I get the feeling they're trying to avoid martyrdom. He needs to go to prison for the big things, not on technicalities.
There are too many breakout indie hits developed by one person or a small team that prove this isn't true across the industry.
AAA development may be that way because there are higher expectations, just like blockbuster movies invest heavily in special effects and A-list celebs. But at the end of the day gamers just want to be entertained.
